• .NET Development WSE 3.0 Labs Messaging

  Pleased to say I got this up and running this morning, sending the Soap messages to my server over the custom transport SMTP. Pretty cool. For anyone else, three minor things: 1. The lab has an email address example in the client app.config rather than the server: < add key = " SmtpServer " value = " mail.mailserver .com " /> 2. I had to add a line to send the credentials to the mail server I was using in the Send method for the new .NET 2.0 SmtpClient in the MailBox class client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential (" email@somewhere.com " , "password" ); 3. The default install for me was under my profile, if you ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF and shadows

  Hi, I am interested in generating shadows for several pieces of geometry in my 3D application, and I was wondering if access to the stencil buffer is restricted when using WPF. If this is the case, is there any way (built in or otherwise) of generating shadows at a reasonable speed Thanks in advance. WPF doesn't allow access to the stencil buffer nor does it have shadows in V1, sorry. Shadows have been one of our biggest feature requests. If the shadow is going to be on a plane, you could do something like find the silhouette edges, project them onto the plane, and draw the projection in black. ...Show All

• SQL Server Is Sql Mobile a generic database engine?

• Visual Studio Team System Is there an API to manage work Items

  Hi, I have an application that I would like to integrate with the Team System work item database. I would like to be able to manage the work items in my own app, at the same time keeping them in synch with the Team System db.

• Visual FoxPro how to change field values?

  I am looking for a way to address fields to change their values. I cannot understand how it can be done in VFP. For instance, if I use two statements which open a database table with a few fields in it, what do I do next USE DatabaseVfp1 tcp_ip IN 0 as cTableAlias SELECT ALL FROM cTableAlias cTableAlias.fieldName1 - what does this expression give me Is it the field value or just a field name Can I write: cTableAlias.fieldName1 = "myString" for instance if it is a type string field From the way VFP handles tables and queries as I can see so far it hardly can be called OO language. In Visual dBASE it is much more con ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office KB 907417 & 908002

  Hi; Asking new because I think this got lost in the message it was a reply to... Just to confirm, if I have run the latest windows update and it shows no updates for Word, then the fixes in KB907417 should be on my machine - correct I have never run the fix in KB907417 and on my dev machine it has version 7.10.5077.0 but my test system, which shows no pending office updates, has 7.10.3191.0. So it looks like I do have to install it.

• .NET Development filter xml element value or dump to dataset to filter?

  I have an xml file as the following: <company> <id>000</id> <address>foo</address> etc. </company> I need to search this file and get all values within the company element where the id equals a variable. I tried using (XmlTextReader.ReadString() = variable) which worked but it was too slow to be feasible. Is there a better way or should I just dump this file into a dataset and filter it there How slow is it what is your goal, and what is the current "speed" maybe we can speed it up. Loading it to a DataSet will probably take longer. ...Show All
